  Identify if the data source with the same ID/GUID already exists.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Data Source:
  
  If you find that the data source already exists and is not needed, you can delete it.
  If the existing data source is required, consider modifying your new data source to use a different ID or GUID.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like CRMD_ORDER or CRMD_ORDERADM_H to manage and view the data sources.
  You can also use transaction SE11 to check the data dictionary for the relevant tables and structures.
